Israeli strike on civil defence centre kills three paramedics in Lebanon An Israeli strike directly targeted a civil defence centre in the town of Harouf in Lebanon’s Nabatieh district, killing three paramedics and critically injuring a fourth. Lebanon’s health ministry said the attack destroyed the facility, which was operated by the health authority. “This crime is further evidence of the brutal approach adopted by the occupying Israeli enemy, disregarding international humanitarian law, and exploiting the silence of the international community to increase crimes against humanity,” the ministry said in a statement.
